BASIC commands
PROGRAMMING MANUAL 45
Revision 1.0
Arguments • start_point
The address of the first element in the TABLE array to be used.
Being able to specify the start point allows the TABLE array to hold more
than one profile and/or other information.
• end_point
The address of the end element in the TABLE array.
• table_multiplier
The Table multiplier value used to scale the values stored in the TABLE.
As the Table values are specified in encoder edges, use this argument to
set the values for instance to the unit conversion factor (set by UNITS
parameter).
• distance
A factor given in user units that controls the speed of movement through
the Table. The time taken to execute CAM depends on the current axis
speed and this distance. For example, assume the system is being pro-
grammed in mm and the speed is set to 10 mm/s and the acceleration
sufficiently high. If a distance of 100 mm is specified, CAM will take 10
seconds to execute.
The SPEED parameter in the base axis allows modification of the speed
of movement when using the CAM move.
Note: When the CAM command is executing, the ENDMOVE parameter is
set to the end of the previous move.
